Instructions:
1. Stack beef steaks; cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1-inch wide strips. Toss with garlic.

2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1/2 of beef; stir-fry 1 minute or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink. (Do not overcook.) Remove. Repeat with remaining beef. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in same skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add mushrooms; cook and stir 2 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat. Add gravy mix and 1 cup cold water; blend well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 1 minute or until sauce is thickened, stirring frequently. Stir in beef; heat through. Serve over noodles. Pass sour cream.

Makes 4 servings.

Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Combine seasoning ingredients; press 3 tablespoons mixture evenly onto all surfaces of beef roast. Combine remaining seasoning mixture with oil in large bowl; set aside.

2. Place roast, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef, not resting in fat. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 350°F oven 1-3/4 to 2 hours for medium rare; 2 to 2-1/2 hours for medium doneness.

3. Meanwhile add vegetables to seasoning mixture in bowl; toss to coat. Transfer vegetables to metal baking pan. Place in oven with beef roast and roast 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until vegetables are tender, stirring once.

4. Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare; 150°F for medium. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium.)

5. Carve roast into slices. Serve with vegetables.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
